The worker was looking at the thousands of delivery structures in the launch bay that would release the drones they held as soon as they were a distance away. Drones on the search for other worlds to colonize. The search had been on for hundreds of years without success and his world was running out of time.
Their star had entered its last phase and he and his companion were the last ones remaining in their world as a massive exile had been undertaken and the other occupants had been saved and transported out of their world in generational ships. They had both volunteered for this last service knowing they wouldn't survive but prayed that someone would find a drone and be able to save their existence.
One of the drones landed on a planet but got caught in the flow of lava from the exploding volcano encasing him and forming a geode around his shell. Thousands of years have passed by when finally the drone fills movement around him.
Tom is on a work trip in Arizona and was looking through the geode collection to take back a gift for his seven-year-old daughter's collection. His attention is grabbed by an unusually heavy one and he can't wait to show his daughter how to crack it open.
I really enjoyed this sci-fi story. It is about a drone's journey to save the planet's occupants when their planet explodes leaving them looking for another host planet. Pebble is totally adorable. The grammar and sentence structure bothered me at times, but it may be deliberate due to the alien characters and that the book is targeted toward young teenagers.
